[Bug 948809] Re: tzdata says "Current default time zone: 'Africa/Bamako' during package install; previously was 'Europe/London' during OS install

[Steve Langasek]

On every upgrade of the tzdata package, the current timezone setting is
read from /etc/timezone into the debconf database.  I don't see any way
that this could be a debconf bug.

Africa/Bamako appears to be at the same offset as London.  Is it
possible that you used a map picker when setting your timezone back to
GMT, and that the wrong city was selected for you by mistake?

Title:
  tzdata says "Current default time zone: 'Africa/Bamako' during package
  install; previously was 'Europe/London' during OS install

Status in “tzdata” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  sudo apt-get update/upgrade this morning shows:

    Setting up tzdata (2012b-1) ...

    Current default time zone: 'Africa/Bamako'
    Local time is now:      Wed Mar  7 09:48:40 GMT 2012.
    Universal Time is now:  Wed Mar  7 09:48:40 UTC 2012.
    Run 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' if you wish to change it.

  However, this would have been previously set to 'Europe/London' during
  install.
